乌饭树树叶及其提取物对视网膜光损伤的保护作用

目的研究乌饭树树叶及其提取物对视网膜免受光损伤的保护功能。方法将20只新西兰白兔分成4组:正常对照组和模型对照Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ组。正常对照组动物自由摄取饲料,自由饮水;模型对照Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ组动物除自由摄取饲料,自由饮水外,每天分别喂乌饭树新鲜树叶50 g/(kg.d)]、乌饭树陈旧树叶50 g/(kg.d)]和乌饭树树叶提取物50mg/(kg.d)],连续4周。并且进行强光刺激,同时利用视网膜电图(ERG)进行视网膜分析,最后处死白兔测定视网膜中丙二醛(MDA)的含量和总超氧化物岐化酶(T-SOD)的活力。结果ERG测定结果发现,对照组B波的潜伏期时间延长而振幅降低,模型组白兔ERG的变化趋势正好相反。同时模型组视网膜中的MDA含量要低于对照组(P<0.01),而SOD含量则高于对照组(P<0.01)。结论服用乌饭树树叶及其提取物对眼睛视网膜具有明显的保护作用。

The protective effect of Vaccinium Bracteatum Thunb leaves and the extract against light injury of retina

Objective To investigate the protective effect of the extract of Vaccinium Bracteatum Thunb(VBT) leaves against light injury of retina.Methods 20 Newzealand rabbits were divided into 4 groups: the normal control group,modelⅠgroup,modelⅡ group,and model Ⅲ group.The normal control group ate and drank freely.modelⅠgroup ate and drank freely but took in 50g/(kg·d) fresh VBT leaves daily for 4 weeks.model Ⅱgroup ate and drank freely,but took in 50g/(kg·d) old VBT leaves daily for 4 weeks.model Ⅲ group ate freely,but took in 50mg/(kg·d) extract of VBT leaves(resolved in water) daily for 4 weeks.All rabbits were exposed to strong light,meanwhile, the retinas were analyzed by electroretinogram(ERG) every week.Finally,all the rabbits were killed and the content of MDA and SOD in the retina were detected.Results In the control group,the latency time of the B wave increased and the amplitude of the B wave shortened,while in the model Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups,the changes of B wave just opposite.The content of MDA in the model Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ groups was lower than that in the control group(P<0.01),but the content of SOD in the model Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ groups was higher than that in the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion The leaves of VBT and the extract can protect the retina against light injury.
